How we share your data with suppliers — dropshipping disclosure
Affordium Shopping operates as an online retail store using a dropshipping fulfilment model. This means that when you place an order, we pass your name and delivery address to our product suppliers so they can ship your order directly to you. We do not pass your payment details to suppliers.
Our suppliers include third-party sellers on AliExpress, UK base Drop shipping suppliers local and international, eBay, Amazon, Walmart, and Esty who ship orders from UK warehouses or international warehouses. By placing an order with us, you acknowledge that your delivery information will be shared with these suppliers solely for the purpose of fulfilling your order.
Some of our suppliers are based outside the UK, including in China. Where your data is transferred outside the UK, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place in line with UK GDPR requirements for international data transfers.
We do not sell your personal data to any third party for marketing purposes.
